The Solidfire driver no longer creates accounts with the hostname prepended. The warning message is now changed to indicate that the old behavior can be retained with a hostname in the config file. Change-Id: Ia7b172f8400403b7dae63307749a58ce9ea33a8f Closes-Bug: 1470162

|
<para>The SolidFire Cluster is a high performance all SSD iSCSI
|
|
storage device that provides massive scale out capability and
|
|
extreme fault tolerance. A key feature of the SolidFire
|
|
cluster is the ability to set and modify during operation
|
|
specific QoS levels on a volume for volume basis. The
|
|
SolidFire cluster offers this along with de-duplication,
|
|
compression, and an architecture that takes full advantage of
|
|
SSDs.</para>
|
|
<para>To configure the use of a SolidFire cluster with Block
|
|
Storage, modify your <filename>cinder.conf</filename> file as
|
|
follows:</para>
|
|
<programlisting language="ini">volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.solidfire.SolidFireDriver
|
|
san_ip = 172.17.1.182 # the address of your MVIP
|
|
san_login = sfadmin # your cluster admin login
|
|
san_password = sfpassword # your cluster admin password
|
|
sf_account_prefix = '' # prefix for tenant account creation on solidfire cluster</programlisting>
|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>Older versions of the SolidFire driver (prior to Icehouse)
|
|
created a unique account prefixed with
|
|
<literal>$cinder-volume-service-hostname-$tenant-id</literal>
|
|
on the SolidFire cluster for each tenant. Unfortunately, this
|
|
account formation resulted in issues for High Availability
|
|
(HA) installations and installations where the <systemitem
|
|
class="service">cinder-volume</systemitem> service can
|
|
move to a new node. The current default implementation does
|
|
not experience this issue as no prefix is used. For installations
|
|
created on a prior release, the OLD default behavior can be
|
|
configured by using the keyword "hostname" in sf_account_prefix.
